10.2%! What About That Mr. Obama?

J.J. Jackson | November 7, 2009 

Friday the Department of Labor released the latest unemployment numbers. Leading up to the release the talking head “experts” thought that it would go up to 9.9% or maybe 10.0%. But when it was anounced that the jump was far worse to 10.2% it seemed to take a lot of people by surprise.

Yes, 10.2% is now our unemployment rate not including those people who have given up looking for work which is perhaps another 6-7% on top of that. Rewind please to President Obama’s pleading that if we allowed him to pass the unconstitutional stimulus bill the unemployment rate would be capped at 8%. Yeah … another failure for Uncle Barack!

Of course the excuse is still the same for the left. They blame President George W. Bush and claim things were worse than they knew or could possibly imagine. Of course we all know the truth which is that Congress makes laws and the Congress has been in the hands of the the liberal Democrats since 2006 (BEFORE the panic turned recession began). And in that Congress was one Senator Barack Obama who regularly voted for every big government, unconstitutional bill that came before him and who defended his liberal brethren at every turn. Blaming Bush for the actions of Congress is absolutely childish.

Today however Barack Obama and members of Congress are in near lockstep with each other. When necessary they help each other and have embraced President Obama’s game plan for bigger government and more spending which will sell out children deeper into slavery to them.

The results? 10.2% unemployment and an economy that continues to struggle. The only sign of life so far has been a single possitive quarter spurred to such by a massive government spending blitz (Cash for Clunkers) which was so unsustainable that Congress let it end. Now the fourth quarter is upon us and the left hopes and prays that the Christmas season will give them a second straight possitive quarter to point to. But what about 2010? What will they do then? And how quickly will the crash come as the well runs dry?
